Aulularia and other inversions of Plautus
First critical edition of Burmeister's newly discovered Aulularia. Joannes Burmeister of Lüneburg (1576-1638) was among the greatest Neo-Latin poets of the German Baroque. His masterpieces, now mostly lost, are Christian 'inversions' of the Classical Roman comedies of Plautus. With only minimal changes in language and none in meter, each transforms Plautus's pagan plays into comedies based on biblical themes. Fascinating in their own right, they also bring back to attention forgotten genres of Renaissance...

Virtues for the people
aspects of Plutarchan ethics
Plutarch of Chaeronea, Platonist, polymath, and prolific writer, was by no means an armchair philosopher. He believed in the necessity for a philosopher to affect the lives of his fellow citizens. That urge inspired many of his writings to meet what he considered people's true needs. Although these writings on practical ethics illustrate in various ways Plutarch's authorial talents and raise many challenging questions (regarding their overall structure, content, purpose, and underlying philosophical...

"Cui dono lepidum novum libellum?"
dedicating Latin works and motets in the sixteenth century; proceedings of the International conference held at the Academia Belgica, Rome, 18-20 August 2005
During the sixteenth century, the traditional act of dedicating a text took on a new meaning due to the wider dissemination of the printed book. As the dedication and other paratexts thus became an almost indispensable part of the publication, they merit careful examination by those who study the presentation and impact of any printed work in its context. Paratexts bridge the gap between the outside World of the reading public and the enclosed world of the book, and often present biographical information...

The early modern cultures of neo-Latin drama
The vitality and power of expression of Neo-Latin Drama. The essays in this collection all illustrate the vitality of Neo-Latin drama in early modern Europe, arising from its productive combination of classical models with deep-rooted vernacular traditions. While the plays were often composed in the context of a school or university setting, the dramatists seldom neglected the need to appeal to a broad audience, including non-Latinists. Yet the use of Latin, and the ambiguity of a plurivocal literary...

Juan Maldonado Spanish humanism on the verge of the picaresque: Juan Maldonado's Ludus chartarum, Pastor bonus, and Bacchanalia
The 16th-century humanist Juan Maldonado in his Latin essays foreshadows the Spanish picaresque. Like Erasmus, with whom he corresponded,Maldonado advocated the use of Latin in a wide-range of activities. Maldonado's Pastor Bonus, a lengthy open letter to a bishop, reviews in a vivid and satirical style the abuses of the churchmen in his diocese. His ludus chartarum is framed as a colloquium similar to Vives' on the subject, entertaining while teaching a Latin terminology for card playing. His Bacchanalia,...

Scottish Latin authors in print up to 1700

Bertram Mourits De achterkant van de bevrijding
schrijvers tussen angst en onafhankelijkheid in de Tweede Wereldoorlog
Roel Houwink, Jo van Ammers-Küller of het echtpaar Scharten-Antink: grote literaire namen van voor de oorlog, maar in de oorlog waren ze fout en daarna werden ze uit de Nederlandse letteren ‘gezuiverd’. Hoe waren ze ertoe gekomen zich aan te sluiten bij de Duitse bezetter? In De achterkant van de bevrijding komt Bertram Mourits tot een nuchtere vaststelling. Lang niet allemaal waren ze volbloed fascisten, de literaire wereld werd bevolkt door gewone mensen die zich zorgen maakten om hun gezin en...

Medieval manuscripts in transition
tradition and creative recycling
Manuscripts constitute the source material par excellence for diverse academic disciplines. Art historians, philologists, historians, theologians, philosophers, book historians and even jurists encounter one another around the codex. The fact that such an encounter can be extremely fertile was demonstrated, during an international congress in Brussels on November 5-9, 2002. A record of the discussions can be found in this volume of the Mediaevalia Lovaniensia. The editors selected those lectures...

A versatile gentleman
consistency in Plutarch's writing; studies offered to Luc van der Stockt on the occasion of his retirement
Essays on erudite versatility in Plutarch's works. Plutarch was a brilliant Platonist, an erudite historian, a gifted author of highly polished literary dialogues, a priest of Apollo at Delphi, and a devoted politician in his hometown Chaeronea. He felt confident in the most technical and specialized discussions, yet was not afraid of rhetorical generalizations. In his voluminous oeuvre, he appears as a sharp polemicist and a loving father, an ardent pupil but also a kind, inspiring teacher, a sober...

Willem G. Weststeijn Russische literatuurgeschiedenis
Dit nieuwe, tweede deel van ‘Russische literatuurgeschiedenis’ van Willem Weststeijn laat zien dat de Russische literatuur ook na de groten een rijk aanbod kent.

In deze heruitgave van Willem Weststeijns ‘Russische literatuurgeschiedenis’ wordt de opkomst van ’s werelds meest vooraanstaande literaire gebieden uitvoerig besproken. De Russische literatuur behoort tot de grootste ter wereld. Eigenlijk is dat een wonder, want tot de negentiende eeuw stond ze geheel in de schaduw van andere Europese literaturen, of liever gezegd: ze bestond eigenlijk niet. Vanaf 1800 werd dat anders en nog geen honderd jaar nadien, na Poesjkin, Gogol, Toergenjev, Tolstoj, Dostojevski...
